    Well, you are right in that sense. Lol! So just for today, Mad Max is short for Mad Maxine to perfectly align the gender pronoun.

    Not at all. That is on the agenda for the morning. I will be fully clothed in long pants and shirt, wearing gloves and a hat with a net face covering. Unfortunately, I don't have a beekeeper's outfit...

    alright my fellow club members..whats the least favorite of your razors/gear/ brushes etc.i know there are many threads for this but i want to keep this between us 30dc's. for me it's the old type.rough shaves ,nicks, unreliable/inconsistent razor for me.a novelty at best.i would like to make it a great shaver without cutting my face off.want to give it a week and give it the respect that's due .anyone else have a razor/soap/product/brush that gives you a challenge? if it's still a fail we can offer it up for a pif or prize for a tsd raffle..we haven't seen one of those for a while..just curious if anyone is interested..

    I am fortunate that there isn't anything in my den that is challenging to me. My least favorite razor is my VDH TTO. My Barbury synthetic is my least favorite brush. I like all my soaps and aftershaves.

    SOTD MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 2020

    Decent shave today. I shouldn’t have used this straight today. It needed sharpening and was tugging. Thankfully, the LaResche 77 was up to the task. What a remarkably close-shaving razor. I feel clean, cool and velveteen.

    RAZOR: KCB Damascus 7/8 (Mug), LaResche 77 Dome)
    BLADE: Polsilver (2)
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
    BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Badger
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.
